In the shape of a “video album”, a series of short songs played to video charts erotic tales in an urban topology. ‘Fishtank’; ‘Shiver’; ‘Kiss of Fire’; ‘8 Million Ways to Die’ and ‘Faint Clue’ explore the myths of popular culture through the motifs of romance and TV soaps, restructuring fragments of memories and images which foreground the body against a mechanised landscape and in turn rewrite women’s drama. This collaboration with musician Ikue Mori focuses on the relationship between sound and music to stress the potential for image to take its place as a musical component.
